It’s easy to love a diner. If you’re going to splurge and go out to eat, why not enjoy comfort food in gigantic portions with friendly servers and an old-school vibe? Unfortunately, one diner in this category, Dunnellon’s The Front Porch Restaurant & Pie Shop, was recently shut down after a state inspection.
About The Front Porch Restaurant & Pie Shop: Perhaps not surprisingly, this old-school diner doesn’t have a website. However, from reviews and write-ups, it is clear that it serves down-home dishes in an inviting atmosphere with a front porch.
Patrons have reviewed this eatery at 12039 N Florida Avenue have rated it over 3,000 times and give it a 4.4 out of 5 rating on Google reviews. Many mentioned the down-home cooking, large portions, and fair prices. A reviewer named Lexi wrote, in part:
“…Just wow. I loved everything about this little restaurant. If you’re looking for food that warms your heart and soul, this is the place!! We ordered the country fried steak and the fried chicken breast cutlet…Both of our meals were absolutely delicious! They serve you nice, large portion sizes…”
